This allegory tale concerns the gap that exists between East and West Los Angeles as Latino kids try to pursue the American Dream. After five years of living in Mexico, an 18-year-old youth returns to Los Angeles with aspirations of becoming a movie star. At the urging of his father, a pimp who sells maps to stars' homes as a cover, the young man turns to male prostitution as a way to meet Hollywood insiders. Things start to look up when he hooks up with the producer of the popular daytime soap opera ''Carmel County''. However his overbearing father and his mentally unstable mother threaten to get in the way of his dreams.
